Learning Objectives
Considered as an advancement in aesthetic studies, the course aims to examine relevant issues for both philosophical and literary and artistic disciplines. Starting from a classical text like Aristotle's Poetics, we will examine the structure of the story, in particular of the tragedy, the function of the mimesis and the truthful character of the art. Moreover, alongside the truthful character of the language and in particular of the story, we will examine their capacity to hide the truth and to deceive. We will pay a particular attention to the need for man to tell, both self-narration and narration will be studied for their value for life and the construction of the self.
Program
The course will address the following topics in the following order:
Mimesis, tragedy and truthful character of art in Aristotle's Poetics (chapters 1-15, 23, 25).
Language and story from the point of view of linguistics and with attention to their fictional character (H. Weinrich).
Self-narration, truth and self-deception (J. M. Coetzee – A. Kurtz).
Narration, life and construction of the Self (M. Cometa).
